As the sun shines down on the land so her heart is crying for love   And there is no-one there, no-one to hear her voice and she will sleep alone again tonight   Now the moon is high in the sky   In her room she calls out his name   But he is somewhere else somewhere she cannot see   Oh and the night is dark between them now   'my god, my god, why did he go away? '   Now the sun shines on a new town   With a smile he gets off the train   He lights a cigarette leans back to see the sky   Oh and he thinks how much better off he is without her hanging round   Let's do it   And the day is passing by him and he has nowhere to stay   At a lonely bar-room table his mind goes back to yesterday to the girl who's dead and   Buried   But her face lives in his eyes   He must forget that face forever   Make the future start tonight   Forget her   But the meal he eats is dead flesh   There is cancer in his cigarettes and the drinks won't do a thing for him   But revive some stupid memories   Then a hairstyle that reminds him makes him run into the night   Where the moon hangs high above him now   The same moon that she's praying on tonight   But the wind catches her words and the moon swallows them whole   Now the moon is high in the sky   In her room she calls out his name   The night is cold and dark and she is all alone   The bed is empty now   Her body screams for love   She wants to be with him   Oh but he's so far away   Oh and the night is dark between them now   'my god, my god, why did he go away? '
